Smoking Cessation Counseling Performance Among Medical Interns

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation

In brief

Smoking remains one of the leading preventable causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is strongly associated with chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and premature death. Physicians play a central role in tobacco control through the delivery of smoking cessation counseling, and even brief physician advice has been shown to significantly increase smoking quit rates. The evidence-based 5A's model (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, and Arrange) is widely recommended as the standard framework for smoking cessation counseling.
